How do you attach photos?

I forgot and need help, thanks.

If the staple gun won't work, scroll way down below the text area you are typing your post into and select Manage Attachments button in the Attach Files box and then find them on your computer.

Put away the scotch tape and follow GigaWhiskey's instructions.....

What!?

Nobody mentioned the Handyman's Secret Weapon.

Duct Tape!

All that duck tape is great for Boudreaux and Thibodeaux (if you know them) but Do you have to reduce the size of the pics for them to go through?

If I'm going to add a pic via URL, I'll upload the photo at http://tinypic.com/ and set the size for "Messageboard". Once it's uploaded, I'll copy the URL and paste it where I need it. On the other hand, if I'm posting the photo as an attached file, I use Broderbund Photo Editor, which was an add-on from an old Hallmark Greetings program.

I believe that answer is yes and no. If you do it as an attachment through a post, Don has a size limit set. I think if it is way too big (pixels and actual file size) it will just look at you crazy. I think if it it goes just above Don's limitations a wee bit, it will re-size them. There are some free apps for downsizing of your images. There is a post somewhere in this forum with a bunch of them spoken of.

 

If you store the images on something like Photobucket, you would provide the Photobucket provided URL within the image brackets . Then I do not believe Don has those size limitations and the image will show in the post and not as an attachment.

 

Best to mess with a bit and see what you can get away with.
